1. It has come to the attention of forum staff that Dollshe Craft has ceased communications with dealers and customers, has failed to provide promised refunds for the excessive waits, and now has wait times surpassing 5 years in some cases. Forum staff are also concerned as there are claims being put forth that Dollshe plans to close down their doll making company. Due to the instability of the company, the lack of communication, the lack of promised refunds, and the wait times now surpassing 5 years, we strongly urge members to research the current state of this company very carefully and thoroughly before deciding to place an order. For more information please see the Dollshe waiting room. Do not assume this cannot happen to you or that your order will be different.

Haute Doll Magazine PHOTO CONTEST!

Jun 20, 2007

    2. Is this only opened to the residents of USA or can everyone participate? Usually contest are barred to me because I'm in Quebec, Canada. And we got laws that legislate contests. (I know I probably shot myself in the foot for asking but better safe than sorry.)

    3. What kinds of laws are there? I think I read somewhere that they have to be based off of a quiz or something.

    10. The rules does not cover how much photoshop is allowed. When usually photo composite is banned in competition - usually colour enhancement / correction is allowed. In a way photoshop is the 'digital darkroom' for digital camera users.

      Im going for vacation soon with my girl so i was thinking of jumping to the competition as well XD

    11. I note that Haute Doll magazine seems to prefer girls, especially if they are dressed as trendily as possible.

    12. I wouldnt say that's nessesarily the case. I imagine if the photo is really good it doesnt matter what sex the doll is. (plus the judges are not all Haute Doll staff they are professionals in the field, etc...) I think they'll probably be unbiased as to sex of the doll.

    13. Does anyone know if we are allowed to enter more than once, and if so is it only one entry per doll? Also is it only one doll per photo? Sorry for all the questions :sweat

      Thanks!

    16. Hey, guys, one of those winners is our own Aernath! We won't know where she stands on the dais until the February issue, but there's an IP Soo-ri (Ichigo or Kyouzou) among the winners!

      I wonder what ratio of entries were BJDs vs. fashion/Tonner dolls.
